Greenpeace Close BP petrol Stations ?

I saw this article this morning in the guardian which is copied in full below. I have no issues with greenpeace, as such. In fact they do quite well in highlighting issues with PR stunts. I also understand why BP are an easy target and possibly more importantly to Greenpeace, easy PR. But if you are [...]

crimes against the garden…?

When I spoke to a colleague of mine about writing an article on robbings in the garden he told me he had seen some himself, but moreso around the winter period. In hindsight I realise this may not be the most amusing opening line for an article but whilst garden theft achieves little or no [...]
